Answer: (d)

Suppose GST on the car of Rs. 5 lacs is Rs. 1 lakh.

Now if I purchase one car then I will pay Rs. 1 lakh tax and if my income is Rs. 10 lacs then tax as a percentage of income will be:

1 lakh x 100% =10% 10 lakhs

Suppose the same car a rich person purchases whose income is Rs 10 crores then tax as a percentage of his income will be:

1 lakh x 100% = 0.1% 10 crores

So, a rich person pays less tax as a percentage of his income, hence GST is regressive.

In a similar way, all indirect taxes are regressive in nature. Income tax is progressive, as poor people need to pay less tax rate as compared to rich people.
